3 Bedroom Cottage in Shaftesbury

A family home used by the owners, but also let out for the traveller wishing to enjoy the essence of Dorset and its surrounding area.
The stylishly designed conservatory at the back, is what makes this house so unique: flooded with light, it's the perfect second sitting room lending light to both dining and kitchen. The front sitting room on the other hand, gives the house its authentic 'cottage' feel - an instant invitation to comfort, luxury and warmth.
The newly fitted kitchen is super well-equipped with everything from Italian hand painted crockery, high standard cooking utensils, to comfortable bar stools.
Upstairs, the master bedroom is to die for. There are 2 further double bedrooms, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Colfax and Fowler, Osborne and Little adorn the windows and with the new and perfect ensuite bathroom, the whole house has the feel of the modern and traditional in perfect harmony.
While the garden with its grassy lawns lends itself to total relax, the patio is the perfect place for breakfast outside and balmy English evenings.

Summary: We spent a lovely week at Pump Cottage. The cottage is very homely and was perfect for our family of 6. There was enough room for us all to have space & yet still be together. The kitchen was well appointed, which worked well for us. The conservatory/sun room & garden were particular highlights. The location was also excellent, close to to a play park and local pub, with just a short walk into Shaftesbury. Thank you Catriona & Family
